Definitions
- the invention relates to a cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition for topical application to mammalian skin, the composition containing a hair growth promoter which is capable of promoting terminal hair growth, especially on the human scalp.
- the hair bulb is a compact, elongate structure, located in the dermis, composed of three main cellular groups:
- hair growth cycle can be divided into three main stages, namely:
- telogen the resting stage known as telogen, in which the regressed follicle contains a small secondary germ with an underlying ball of tightly packed dermal papilla cells.
- the initiation of a new anagen phase is revealed by rapid proliferation of epithelial cells in the germ, expansion of the dermal papilla and elaboration of basement membrane components.
- the hair cycle is then repeated many times until, as a consequence of the onset of male pattern baldness, most of the hair follicles spend an increasing proportion of their time in the telogen stage, and the hairs produced become finer, shorter, and less visible; this is known as terminal to vellus transformation.
- the invention provides a composition suitable for topical application to mammalian skin or hair, comprising an amount of the cell-free supernatant from a culture of dermal papilla fibroblasts which is sufficient to increase hair growth in the rat, when applied thereto, by at least 10% more than that obtainable using a control composition from which the said cell-free supernatant has been omitted.
- the invention provides a composition suitable for topical application to mammalian skin or hair comprising an amount of a hair growth promoter, or active fragments thereof, sufficient to increase hair growth, in the rat, when applied thereto, by at least 10% more than that obtainable using a control composition from which said hair growth promoter has been omitted; and a cosmetically acceptable vehicle; the hair growth promoter having been obtained from a cell-free supernatant of cultured dermal papilla fibroblasts, the hair growth promoter being proteinaceous, and being further characterised by:

- Minoxidil sulphates as described by the Upjohn Co., in WO 86/04231.
- the hair growth promoter is proteinaceous, and therefore its benefit in promoting hair growth can be maintained or improved by including a protein stabilising agent in the composition according to the invention.
- a protein stabilising agent such as a protease inhibitor or a secondary protein for which with the hair growth promoter, the natural skin proteases will compete, can protect the hair growth promoter until it reaches the immediate environment of the hair bulb.

- the invention accordingly also provides a closed container containing a composition as herein defined.
- the invention also provides for the use of the concentrated cell-free supernatant obtained from cultured dermal papilla cells, preferably hair growth promoter derived therefrom, in the topical treatment of baldness.
- compositions according to the invention are primarily intended for topical application to the scalp of the human subject, to increase hair growth particularly where the head is already bald or balding.
- the compositions can also be applied profilactically to the hair and to the scalp to reduce or prevent the onset of baldness.
- the amount of the composition and the frequency of application to the hair and/or scalp can vary widely, depending on personal needs, but it is suggested as an example that topical application of from 1 to 5g daily containing from 0.000001 to lg of the hair growth promoter over the period of at least six months will in most cases result in an improvement in hair growth.
- the invention also provides a process for the preparation of a hair growth promoter, which comprises the step of:
- a preferred method for the biosynthesis and subsequent isolation of the hair growth promoter can be carried out as follows:
- Dermal papillae were isolated by microdissection from hair follicles.
- the isolated papillae were maintained in a medium containing 15% by volume fetal calf serum (FCS), the cells and medium being kept at 37° C. in an atmosphere of 5% CO 2 /95% air, in order to maintain a suitable pH value of from 6.5 to 7.5.
- FCS fetal calf serum
- the medium employed was Dulbeccos' modified Eagles medium (DMEM) supplemented with L-glutamine, 15% by volume FCS, as well as penicillin and streptomycin to reduce the risk of bacterial contamination.
- DMEM Dulbeccos' modified Eagles medium
- the concentrated, dialysed culture supernatant containing the hair growth promoter can then be used as such in preparing the composition according to the invention, or it can be dried, for example, by freeze drying before dispersing in the vehicle.
- SFM serum-free medium
- a preferred assay is a mitogenisis assay, which assesses the ability of the concentrated culture supernatant to stimulate DNA synthesis in a test cell line (NIH-3T3).
- test cells are rendered quiescent in low serum medium (DMEM +L-glutamine +0.5 to 0.7 FCS) for 24 to 48 hours, and the ability of stimulants, (that is in this case concentrated culture supernatant) to increase the uptake of tritiated thymidine into DNA Material over a 24 hour period, is assessed.
- DMEM +L-glutamine +0.5 to 0.7 FCS low serum medium
- the concentrated culture supernatant shows an activity in terms of its ability to initiate DNA synthesis as mentioned by the uptake of tritiated thymidine into DNA, otherwise known as mitogenic activity.
- mitogenic activity As the dermal papilla cells in vivo regulate the mitogenic activity of epithelial cells in the hair bulb, this activity of the concentrate is therefore in part related to its ability to stimulate hair growth on application to skin.
- the hair growth promoter responsible for this DNA synthesis in NIH-3T3 cells has been shown to have a molecular weight of at least 500D.
- the concentrated cell culture supernatant has the following properties. It is unstable to heating in aqueous solution for 1 minute at 100° C. but stable to heating for ten minutes at 60° C.
- the mitogenic activity is promoted in the presence of insulin or insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGFl), but not by the presence of epidermal growth factor((EGF).
- the activity is partially stable to lowering of the pH in 0.1M acetic acid or 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) and readjustment of this pH to 7.0, and is partially stable to the process of freeze drying or to repeated freeze-thaw cycles of the concentrated cell culture supernatant.
- a small patch of normal skin (4 cm ⁇ 4 cm) on the upper back of each rat was clipped at the start and a hair growth stimulant composition (or a control) applied twice daily topically or continuously subcutaneously to the clipped area. Hair was clipped from the area of the patch twice weekly, collected and weighed at each time point, and cumulative hair weight calculated. From these data, it was possible to estimate the effect of a hair growth stimulant as a test compound on the amount and duration of hair growth during the experiment.
- a positive response, i.e. an increase of at least 10% by weight of hair, compared with a control indicates the potential of the test substance to prevent hair loss and/or reverse baldness in human subjects.
- the rat model was validated by showing that topical application of a known promoter of human hair regrowth, namely 2% (w/v) minoxidil in a vehicle of 70% ethanol, 20% water and 10% propylene glycol, caused an increase of 55% in hair growth as shown below in Table 1:
- a hair growth promoter concentrate was prepared as described hereinbefore. This concentrate was derived from cultured rat dermal papilla fibroblasts (passages 1 and 2), the cell-free supernatant being concentrated approximately 100 times and dialysed into phosphate buffered saline using a protein filter having a molecular weight cut off approximately 0000 Daltons. In these experiments, rat (as opposed to human) culture supernatant was used to avoid potential problems due to species variation.
- the cell-free supernatant concentrate was assayed in an in vivo rat hair growth model. It was delivered continuously (about 0.5 microliters per hour) to the animal over a three week period using a mini osmotic pump (model 2002) commercially available from Alza, USA.
- a mini osmotic pump model 2002
- the mini osmotic pumps were assembled according to the manufacturer's instructions and implanted singly subcutaneously just behind the posterior edge of the clipped site. A short 1.3 cm canular was attached to the pump so that the contents of the pump could be delivered accurately under the clipped site. It was considered that subcutaneous delivery of the concentrate was equivalent in its effect on hair growth to topical application of it, while simplifying accurate dosing to the site of application.
- the effect of the concentrated culture supernatant was assessed by comparing the cumulative weight of hair produced in the test and control samples.
- the pumps were filled with PBS.
- a total of 240 microliters [approximately] of sample was delivered to each rat.
- Ten animals were used for the control sample, and ten for the test sample, each animal being 65 days old at the beginning of the experiment, at which point the hair follicles are in anagen midway through the G3 growth phase.
- the effect of the cell-free supernatant concentrate was to stimulate an increased in hair growth as measured by the weight of hair produced.
- the hair growth promoter ingredient is a culture supernatant which has been concentrated and dialysed, as described herein, and contains 3mg/ml protein.

- the lotion has the following formulation:
- This Example illustrates a hair tonic which is suitable for application to hair or scalp.
- the hair tonic has the following formulation:
